A/N: For the P100 challenge 125 picture. Thanks to the wonderful Fred for the beta. Continues in Seeking Forgiveness.

He's late.

Far too late for her to forgive him.

Especially tonight.

He sighs and closes his eyes as he enters the dining room.

The table set for a candlelit meal.

Two wine glasses abandoned but full.

The expensive bottle of red between them.

An envelope propped against it.

His own envelope is in his pocket, ready to be given.

He still leans it against the bottle.

Even knowing it would not be enough.

That he is far too late to make amends.

That she will not forgive him.

He still tries.

He has to.

Because he still loves her.

poor Mrs. Lester (and James too)

I hope in the sequel, they can reconcile.

Thanks for reading. Will add the bunny to the warren and see what happens (g).

Aww *hugs them both*. Hopefully he can make it up to her somehow. Nicely done :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. They both need a hug.

Awww this is sad but at least there is hope at the end for Lester to continue pursuing the love of his wife. That is very admirable about him. :)

Thanks. Lester's not giving up, but it all depends on his wife forgiving him.

[cordeliadelayne]

Aw, *sniff* Poor Lester.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Definitely poor Lester.

[fififolle]

That's very sad. And creates a brilliant atmosphere. Well done. I hope we see more of this.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I have no idea where this came from. As for more, have to see if the bunny strikes.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Ouch. That was very bittersweet, but also strangely lovely...

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Lester's job has a lot to answer for.

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

That's very sad. Great image of the table all ready.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It wrote itself, really.

*sniffs* Oh Lester. I think you'll need to do better than that to keep her.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I think Lester knows that. *Passes tissue*

[fredbassett]

Poor Lester. I hope he finds a way to get her back.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks and thanks again for the beta.
Poor Lester, he'll have his work cut out for him to do that. Have to see if the bunny strikes.

Awww. I like this, I really do. I hope he can do something to fix it but I like the idea of him wanting to stay together butit disintegrating around him and him not able to stop it.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thankyou. I agree with you, it would be nice to fix it... but on the other hand, the angst of it failing..

[talliw.livejournal.com]

It's always sad to see the end of a marriage. Great drabble.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It really is, but Lester's not just going to give up - whether the bunny strikes or not.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

*wibbles* Oh James... That's really sad! :(

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*pets telperion_15* Don't worry, James hasn't given up.
